Stars including Victoria Beckham and Sharon Stone have joined leading gay rights campaigners to throw their support behind Sir Elton John in his clash with fashion designers Dolce &amp; Gabbana.
The dispute hit headlines over the weekend (14-15Mar15) when the "Your Song" star criticised Italian style moguls Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana over a magazine interview in which they called children born via in vitro fertilisation (IVF) "chemical offsprings" from a "rented uterus". Both designers have since spoken out to clarify their remarks, insisting they did not mean to slur gay families, but Sir Elton, who is father to two sons with his partner David Furnish, is receiving growing support via social media.
His calls to boycott the fashion house have been backed by fellow gay dads including Ricky Martin and Glee creator Ryan Murphy, as well as rocker Courtney Love, who threatened to burn her Dolce &amp; Gabbana clothes, while more stars are now wading into the dispute. Sir Elton's close pal Victoria Beckham backed him in a tweet, writing, "Sending love to Elton, David (their sons) Zachary Elijah &amp; all the beautiful IVF babies," while Hollywood actress Stone writes, "To spending (sic) time raging against a closed mind is to waste oneself, a self that can be better spent loving where that love has been removed... #boycottdolceandgabbana."
British singer Jessie Ware calls the fashion pair's comments "disgraceful and extremely disappointing," while others backing Sir Elton include gay stars John Barrowman and Matt Lucas. A representative for gay rights campaign group Stonewall tells Sky News, "We strongly dispute the comments made by Dolce &amp; Gabbana. Being a good parent has nothing to do with sexual orientation or whether a child has two mums or two dads."
Activist Peter Tatchell writes in a post on Twitter.com, "#DolceAndGabanna should read new research, Modern Families. It proves kids of LGBT (lesbian gay bisexual &amp; transgender) parents flourish despite stigma..." Campaigners in Dolce &amp; Gabbana's native Italy have also spoken out. Flavio Romani, head of gay rights organisation Arcigay, tells Britain's The Guardian newspaper, "Their position is absolutely personal and it contradicts the global movement for adoption and gay rights. Gay people have the right to be considered equal to others, in bringing up a child."

We've already discussed Easter Eggs in movies and the many ways filmmakers create in-jokes and references for savvy viewers and those in the know, but today we're taking a look at filmmakers referencing other filmmakers (or their stars...or themselves). We bet you'll never watch these movies the same way again.
Honoring Directors They Admire:
1. Star Wars in Star Trek
Paramount Pictures
It's no surprise that Super 8 director J. J. Abrams is a Star Wars fan, but we bet you never caught R2-D2's appearance in both Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness. It looks like Star Wars: The Force Awakens won't be Abrams' first time with the Star Wars world.
Giving a Nod To Its Stars' Careers
2. Romy and Michele's High School Reunion's wink at Quentin Tarantino
Buena Vista Pictures
The comedy has a few subtle references to Quentin Tarantino's film universe. At the time, Mira Sorvino (Romy) was dating Tarantino. Thus, the keen eye can discern a Big Kahuna Burger take-out bag behind Michele's head in the scene where they pig out and decide to emulate top female executives. In one of the next scenes, an ad for Red Apple Cigarettes can be seen behind their car. Both of these brands were made up by Tarantino for his films. Red Apple cigarettes can be seen in films like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Four Rooms, and From Dusk Til Dawn.
3. Bruce Willis' Favorite Song
20th Century Fox via Everett Collection
Die Hard With A Vengeance has a Pulp Fiction reference in it! Who knew? Bruce Willis' Pulp Fiction character, Butch, is driving around while "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statley Brothers plays on his radio and he sings along before running into Marsellus Wallace. Die Hard's John McClane exits a cab in the 1995 film with Samuel L. Jackson and references his time suspended by reciting the same lyrics from Pulp Fiction: "I was working on a nice fat suspension. Smokin cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo." Willis starred in Pulp Fiction with Jackson between Die Hard 2 and Die Hard With A Vengeance.
4. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Rango
sodahead.com
The beginning of Rango features the Johnny Depp-voiced reptile landing on the windshield of a convertible driven by none other than Duke and Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp paying tribute to Johnny Depp.
5. Adam Brody in Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith
20th Century Fox via Everett Collection
Okay, maybe everyone just really loves Fight Club and Brad Pitt, right? In the 2005 rom-com action movie, Seth Cohen plays the man they're both assigned to kill, which is how they realize they're both spies. The whole time, Brody is wearing a Fight Club t-shirt. It's pretty obvious whose side he's on.
6. Fight Club Starring Brad Pitt
20 Century Fox
Fight Club has a bunch of hidden gems in it, including advertisements for its main stars. Theater marquees within the movie advertise films starring Brad Pitt (Seven Years In Tibet), Edward Norton (The People Vs. Larry Flynt), and even Helena Bonham Carter (The Wings of the Dove, although it's obscured by a bus in the scene, so this is questionable).
Paying Homage To Themselves:
7. The Social Network's Tyler Durden
Columbia Pictures
Fight Club's director David Fincher has also been known to reference his own movies. In The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg's Zuckerberg uses Facebook for help on an Art History assignment. The profile he's viewing? Tyler Durden's.
8. Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Warner Bros.
In the Tim Burton adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic, Charlie's father works for Smilex toothpaste factory; this is a reference to the poison Joker unleashed on Gotham in the Burton-directed Batman by hiding it in their toothpaste. During a tour of the factory, Wonka walks by a room of pink sheep as he says, "I'd rather not talk about this one." While this may just seem like a way to accentuate his eccentricity, Burton's actually referencing his Ed Wood biopic, also starring Johnny Depp; director Ed Wood was a notorious cross-dresser with an affinity for pink wool. In other scenes throughout the movie, children in the Halloween flashback wear masks of Lock, Shock, and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas and a door in the factory is marked "BeetleJuicing."
9. Before Sunrise/Waking Life/Dazed and Confused
Fox Searchlight Pictures
Oscar-nominated writer-director Richard Linklater's film worlds seem to intersect at times. Like when Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy reprise their characters Jesse and Celine from Before Sunrise in the rotoscope dream movie Waking Life, which they then reference in Before Sunset. But there are subtler ways in which the films inhabit the same world: pinball. The same pinball machine can be found in at least three of Linklater's films: Waking Life, Before Sunrise, and Dazed and Confused.
10. Friends With Benefits picks up Easy A
Screen Gems
Director Will Gluck references his 2010 hit comedy Easy A in the totally-okay-but-not-as-successful 2011 film Friends With Benefits. The sign at the airport for an "O. Penderghast" alludes to Emma Stone's character in Easy A. Stone appears in both films and is flawless in both.
Paying Tribute To Other Directors:
11. Indiana Jones/Star Wars/E.T.
Paramount Pictures
R2-D2 makes another appearance - this time in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg paid tribute to Indiana Jones writer George Lucas by including hieroglyphics of the Star Wars droid in the 1981 film. Three years later, Spielberg did it again by naming a club in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom after Obi-Wan Kenobi.
12. E.T. in Star Wars
20th Century Fox
And then George Lucas thanks Steven Spielberg by featuring E.T. the Extra Terrestrial in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
13. Evil Dead 2/Nightmare on Elm Street
Paramount Pictures
Director Sam Raimi pays homage to Wes Craven in Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn by sneaking iconic slasher Freddy Krueger's glove in the background of a few scenes.
Paying Tribute To The Genre:
14. Scream
GIPHY/reddit.com
Scream is more jam-packed with references than most other movies. It's basically a two-hour homage to the horror genre entirely. The character Billy Loomis borrows his last name from Psycho's Sam Loomis before quoting Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. The janitor outside Principal Himbry's office (played by director Wes Craven himself) is named Fred and wears Freddy Krueger's iconic striped shirt. The film is so saturated with in-jokes and references that it's pretty easy for even the most savvy viewers to miss Scream Queen Linda Blair's brief cameo. Take comfort in understanding the constant name-checking of other horror flicks.

The 87th Academy Awards last night confirmed that Neil Patrick Harris is an incredible host and can do pretty much anything. Here's a look at the best moments of last night's show:

It's easy to get swept up with major Hollywood stars this time of year, gazing at the red carpet and thinking of these celebs as superhuman megastars, but even the biggest names around got their starts in less glamorous ways. Before their Oscars and Emmys, these stars had Pop Tarts and Lisa Frank.
1. Ben Affleck
Dig those smooth moves and that hip phone! The two-time Oscar winner starred in this Burger King commercial before becoming the megastar we know today from films like Good Will Hunting and Gone Girl. His next role may be playing Batman, but now we'll always think of him as this bad boy who breaks the rules.
2. Brad Pitt
It may be crazy to see a superstar like Brad Pitt shelling for potato chips, but if you think about it, not much has really changed for the Oscar-winning Fight Club star since this Pringles commercial: he still looks good enough to make our mouths water.
3. Jennifer Lawrence
Since starring in this commercial for MTV's Super Sweet 16, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has taught those boys how to properly carry her around on her throne, where this Oscar-winning actress belongs.
4. Stanley Tucci
We've always loved The Devil Wears Prada's Stanley Tucci, but seeing him young and hunky in this Levi's commercial made us love him even more.
5. Steve Carell
Steve Carell may have received his first Oscar nomination for his dramatic role in Foxcatcher, but this commercial shows that he's at his best when he's being funny and lovable.
6. Leonardo DiCaprio
We're like 97% sure we'd take our pants off immediately if Leo came up to us now and told us to "keep it poppin" or to "save some for Daddy." The 5-time Academy Award nominee is underrated even when it comes to his commercials.
7. Haley Joel Osment
We're just gonna throw this out there: The Sixth Sense could have been a much better movie if they'd stuck to the original line, "I see snack dragons." Just saying. Also, not even a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would eat a pizza that looks that gross, Kraft.
8. Naomi Watts
Young Naomi Watts, the two-time Academy Award nominee you know from films like Birdman and Mulholland Drive, was once a teenager with a thick Australian accent. Like most of us, the near-perfect actress worried about her skin, her figure, and "that one" problem we don't talk about.
9. Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone
"You sound like a commercial." "You buyin' it?" This is the greatest moment of either of their careers. Just kidding, Sharon Stone has gone on to many other performances that are just as good, if not better.
10. Mila Kunis
So, we guess we can thank Mila Kunis for helping make Lisa Frank such a thing in the 90s. It's hard to believe that the star was only two years away from her breakout role on That '70s Show.
11. Elijah Wood:
We've always had a lot of love for Elijah Wood's facial expressions. From Lord of the Rings to Wilfred, his face is sometimes the only thing that makes his performances entertaining. This commercial might just be his shining moment.
12. Kristen Stewart
We love how sassy Kristen Stewart is in this Porsche commercial -- that head nod and "duh" look on her face, as if she would lie about missing her bus, Dad. But secretly, she's all *Live Fast, Die Hard, Bad Girls, Do It Well* #YOLO. Performance of her career, honestly.
13. Meg Ryan
We would personally rather watch a never-ending loop of Meg Ryan's face appearing over the Burger King logo than watch Sleepless in Seattle.
14. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
How many times have we fantasized about the chance to be at Joseph Gordon Levitt's house with him making us breakfast in the morning? Countless. But we never imagined it could be as adorable and delicious as this 1991 Pop Tarts commercial makes it seem.
15. Tobey Maguire
Yo, Spider-Man is having an uncomfortable amount of fun in the bathroom.
16. Corey Feldman
This adorable McDonalds commercial from 1975 may have been heartwarming back then, but 40 years later, it just reminds us how much The Goonies star hasn't aged since he was 4.
17. Demi Moore
We're not sure if the Ghost star was trying to sell Diet Coke by convincing us we might fall in love, or if she was trying to warn us of the dangers and health problems that could arise from drinking it, but we still like it.
18. Keanu Reeves:
Eating cereal has seriously never looked more fun than it does in this commercial. We would love to eat Kelloggs Corn Flakes with Keanu, Matrix style.
19. Stephen Colbert
This ad seems like a news report, and we can totally see a lot of similarities between this FirsTier Bank commercial and The Colbert Report.
20. Matt LeBlanc
Okay, the best things might come to those who wait, but does the Friends star now have to run back up to the roof, or is he just gonna waste that whole bottle of ketchup just to look cool eating one hot dog? Joey. Doesn't. Waste. Food.
21. Courteney Cox
Fun fact: the Friends star was the first person to ever say "period" (referring to menstruation, not punctuation) on TV. She then broke down more boundaries by starring in terribly-named-but-not-actually-terrible TV shows, like Cougar Town.
22. Elisabeth Moss
Are we the only ones watching this commercial as if we're watching Pegy pitch an ad campaign on Mad Men? We can't be.
23. Sarah Michelle Gellar
This 4-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar just slayed Burger King's competition faster than you could say "Buffy." Un-be-liev-able!
24. Bryan Cranston
Fans were amazed with how Bryan Cranston transformed from the lovable Hal on Malcolm in the Middle into the meth kingpin Heisenberg on Breaking Bad, but the truly incredible transformation of his career happened way earlier. The way he instantly goes from being a skunk to a human is absolutely astonishing.
25. Aaron Paul
This commercial seems like it could actually just be Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman waiting to eat his breakfast before heading off to Chemistry with Mr. White, doesn't it? Aaron Paul's gotta have his Pops, bitch!
26. Megan Mullally and John Goodman
We love Karen Walker enough to be able to recognize that incredible voice anywhere, even if it's some place strange, like a McDonalds commercial. While Karen would certainly never actually sell Egg McMuffins, we're pretty sure that Roseanne star John Goodman totally would.
27. Seth Green
We don't mean to diminish the abilities of our favorite werewolf from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or our favorite dimwitted cartoon son from Family Guy, but this is definitely Seth Green's brightest moment. That hair, the accent. He totally nails the 90s goon role with lines like, "Consequently, we can hit on 'em," and "Definitely - NOT!"
28. Tony Hale
Tony Hale won our hearts playing Buster on Arrested Development (and an Emmy playing Gary on Veep), and this commercial proves that he's made a career out of his hilarious concern regarding women's toiletries. We wonder if Gary's Leviathan on Veep has Herbal Essences.
29. Charlie Day
This quirky commercial for Cascade dishwasher detergent looks like Charlie Day just stepped out of an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Graduating and heading straight into retirement also seems like a total Charlie Kelly scheme, doesn't it?
30. Jane Lynch
Okay, the only thing we love more than Frosted Flakes and Tony the Tiger is this commercial with Glee star Jane Lynch camping out everyday trying to sneak a peak at the elusive mascot himself.

America's sweetheart and everyone's favorie actress, Emma Stone received her first ever Oscar nomination! She's nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her edgier, more foul-mouthed role in Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman, which is a bit of a different role for the 26-year-old who stole our hearts at age 19. In honor of Emma's incredible year, we take a look back at the movies that made us love her more and more.
1. Superbad (2007)
candacedoesgifs.tumblr.com
Her breakout role as the cool, gorgeous girl in the Judd Apatow-produced teen comedy set the stage for what we would come to think of Emma herself. Hilarious, beautiful, self-deprecating, and pretty much the person everyone wants to hang out with. It's because of her character that Jonah Hill is inspired to endure all of the challenges in this movie, and we can't say we blame him. Come on, who wouldn't?
2. The House Bunny (2008)
GIPHY
Her role in the not-that-great-but-not-that-bad Anna Faris comedy as Natalie, an unfortunately styled nerdy sorority girl, was maybe a bit hard to believe at first (because she's flawless), but it was fun nonetheless. We would rewatch this movie any time just to watch Emma Stone as the virgin sacrifice at Zeta Alpha Zeta's Aztec party.
3. Zombieland (2009)
GIPHY/mylifethroughemmastone.tumblr.com
Wichita is probably the last person you'd want to encounter during a zombie apocalypse...or so it seems. Once you get over her penchant for conning people and her habit of pointing shotguns at you, you'd realize just how lovely an addition she'd make to your zombie-fighting group. She'll even be there to do drugs with Bill Murray. That is a cool girl.
4. Easy A (2010)
GIPHY/gifhell.com
The movie that earned Stone her first Golden Globe nomination, Easy A, is easily her greatest role ever. As Olive Penderghast, Stone lies about losing her virginity, turns that lie into a business of sex-related lies, styles herself as a lingerie-clad Hester Prynne, and battles head-to-head with super conservative Marianne (Amanda Bynes). One of the most entertaining teen movies, this gets extra points for reimagining a book we hated in high school and making it awesome.
5. The Help (2011)
GIPHY
Emma plays the lovable "Skeeter" whose relationship with two black maids during the Civil Rights era in Mississippi begins as the maids assist the aspiring journalist with her cleaning column, but soon intensifies as she chooses to write their stories instead. Though it's Octavia Spencer who steals the show here, Stone's role is still as incredible as we've come to expect.
6. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)
GIPHY
As a recent law school grad who first rejects and then falls in love with Ryan Gosling (lucky girl), Stone shined as bright as ever. Our favorite moment of the whole film is when she's Gosling's house, looking "R-rated sexy," and telling him that they're going to "bang" before self-consciously calling the super-hunk out for looking like he's Photoshopped.
7. Friends with Benefits (2011)
GIPHY/broocewayne.tumblr.com
Though only a small role, her turn as the girl dumping Justin Timberlake for missing "Your Body Is A Wonderland" at the John Mayer concert is not only totally understandable (because he kind of is "the Sheryl Crow of our generation," right?), but is completely awesome. Her departure from the conversation, entirely over this relationship and more concerned with the Mayer concert, is perfect.
8. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
GIPHY/butlercat.tumblr.com
SHE'S GWEN STACY! Arguably the greatest, most adorable movie girlfriend ever in the history of movies. Going too far? We don't think so! She's Peter Parker's love interest and the daughter of the police captain (who sooo does not approve of his daughter dating the dangerous Spider-Man), and we love her for it. More importantly than anything that happens in the actual movie, though, is her real life romance with the real life Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield. We love them on and off the screen.
9. Magic in the Moonlight (2014)
a-movie-dream.tumblr.com
It should be clear that any movie starring Emma Stone AND Colin Firth is going to be adorable and charming, right? Okay, now that we've settled that... Emma plays a psychic who doesn't really care that Firth is trying to disprove her powers, yada yada yada, she falls in love with him. The most charming part of the movie is, of course, Emma, particularly in her 1920s Gatsby-esque style. To die for!
10. Birdman (2014)
GIPHY
Is this the movie could land Emma her first Oscar?! Stone plays Michael Keaton's aggressive and brash fresh-out-0f-rehab daughter-turned-personal-assistant who seemingly doesn't give a hoot about anything. From her potty mouth to her pursuit of adrenaline highs, we were shocked and amazed at how terrific she was in this role.

Taylor Swift has broken her ex-boyfriends' hearts all over again by revealing she wasn't in love with any of them.
The singer, who lists Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer and Joe Jonas among her past flames, tells the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine that she never thought she'd have a lasting romance with her famous exes. She says, "(It wasn't) real love. Not the kind that lasts. I think that's still ahead of me, which is really exciting."
And, opening up about her much-publicised dating life, the Love Story hitmaker admits she was too idealistic as she entered into her past romances, adding, "I used to go into them thinking, 'Maybe this is the one, we'll get married and have a family; this could be forever'. Whereas now I go in thinking, 'How long do we have on the clock before something comes along and puts a wrench in it, or your publicist calls and says this isn't a good idea?'"

By now, everyone knows Daniel Radcliffe as the absolute delight of a human being who played Harry Potter for most of his (and our) lives. We like him best sporting a pair of round glasses and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. But Radcliffe is muti-faceted, both in terms of his personality – He’s eloquent! He’s funny! He’s charming! He loves football! – and his talent – He acts! He dances! He sings! He can do a pretty solid American accent! – and so it’s unfair to reduce him down to just one character, even if it’s his most famous one of all. With Radcliffe about to firmly shake off the hold of Harry Potter for good, thanks to a series of varied, interesting roles, like charming everyman Wallace in the upcoming rom com What If, we felt inspired to look back on everything that he's achieved outside of Hogwarts. Sure, some of his non-Potter characters are extra funny or self-aware thanks to how he became a household name, but they're just as complex and compelling in their own right. After all, Harry Potter will always be there, but Cripple Billy could use all the love he can get.
David Copperfield Before he was Harry, Radcliffe made his acting debut as another famous orphan in the 1999 BBC adaptation of David Copperfield. It’s not the most polished performance of his career, but it’s remarkable for how effortlessly compelling he is as an actor, and it’s easy to see the spark that Potter producer David Heyman saw before asking Radcliffe to audition for the Boy Who Lived. Plus, with those big blue eyes and chubby cheeks, it’s by far his most adorable performance.
Extras Radcliffe’s comedy chops were evident way back in 2006 when he appeared as a version of himself in Ricky Gervais’ show Extras, as a lewd, over-confident teenager. Watching him awkwardly try to hit on every woman who crossed his path could have been embarrassing, but he plays it with the right amount of self-awareness to make it hilarious when he inevitably turns the tables to get the adults on set in trouble. The David Brent-like cockiness coming from such a familiar face is just jarring enough to be comedy gold.
My Boy Jack Proving that he has talent for inhabiting titular characters, Radcliffe starred in this television adaptation of David Haig’s play in 2007. As John, the son of author Rudyard Kipling (Haig), Radcliffe got his first truly adult role, playing the determined but unprepared officer in World War I. It’s a complicated role to play, as it balances both the weightiness of a war drama with the domestic conflicts of the father-son relationship, but Radcliffe handles them all adeptly, alternating between earnest and haunted, and finding ways to quietly echo his on-screen father. The mustache, however, was less successful.
The Woman in Black For his first post-Potter role, Radcliffe decided to dip his toe into the horror genre with The Woman in Black, where he played Arthur Kipps, a widower and a lawyer who leaves his young son behind to investigate the affairs of a remote village, and stumbles across a violent spirit. He spends most of the film alone on-screen, wandering through the haunted, abandoned house, and it’s a testament to his charisma that you’re never once bored. It’s a tough feat to accomplish given he often has nobody to react to or bounce off of, but he still manages to deliver a complex, endearing and terrifying performance that leaves you rooting for him to be reunited with his son.
Kill Your Darlings Radcliffe playing iconic beat poet Allen Ginsberg shouldn’t make any sense, but he made it work, somehow, delivering an incredible performance that’s due just as much to his own natural talent as to his incredible, searing chemistry with Dane DeHaan. As Ginsberg, Radcliffe is sensitive and compelling, adding the right amounts of jitters and neuroses and helping the audience to fall in love with Lucien Carr along with him. At its heart, the film is about the relationship between Ginsberg and Carr, and likewise, the performances are all about the way that Radcliffe and DeHaan play off one another.
The Cripple of Inishmaan In his third West End and Broadway production, Radcliffe took on the physically and emotionally demanding title role in Martin McDonagh’s black comedy. As Billy, a cripple boy in 1930’s rural Ireland who wants to watch a film shoot on the neighboring island of Inis Mor, Radcliffe is equally hilarious and heartbreaking. Billy is, by turns, earnest, desperate, frustrated, lovesick, heartbroken and bitter, and Radcliffe plays them all perfectly, never letting any one of them overtake his nuanced performance. With an arm bent in on his side and a foot dragging behind him, he completely disappears in the role, inhabiting even the most subtle elements of the character to create a full-realized, complex, haunting person.

Katy Perry is considering becoming a mother in the next five years, and she insists she doesn't need a man to realise her baby dreams.
The Dark Horse singer, who was briefly married to funnyman Russell Brand and dated singer/songwriter John Mayer, is currently single, but she's not letting her unlucky-in-love status interfere with her baby plans.
She tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I want to be doing that in the right time, and that's not in the next two years, you know? Maybe it's in a five-year plan, but I need to really be able to focus 100 per cent of my attention on it. I don't really want to take the child on tour. Not until, like, birth through five is over."
"I don't need a dude... It's 2014! We are living in the future; we don't need anything... I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."

A complete ranking of every single Walt Disney Animation Studios movie, from worst to best.
53) Meet the RobinsonsA charmless stab at post-ironic humor, and particularly misguided story about adoption.
52) Dinosaur Do you remember anything about Dinosaur other than how unexpectedly terrifying Aladar looked? We didn't think so.
51) Home on the Range Between its lackluster plot, forgettable characters and complete lack of humor, Home on the Range is the definition of "bland children's movie."
Buena Vista Pictures via Everett Collection
50) Lilo and StitchDisjointed in its plot, characters, and sense of humor, Lilo &amp; Stitch has visual charm but little else going for it.
49) Treasure Planet Treasure Planet is a lot better than people give it credit for, but it's a little too complicated and charmless to be a success.
48) The Fox and the HoundMaybe I'm being a little harsh with this one, but The Fox and the Hound depressed the hell out of me when we were children and I can't help but hold a grudge.
47) Wreck-It RalphWith so much potential in its concept, Wreck-It Ralph is more of a colossal disappointment than it is a "bad movie." Dull, colorless, and stagnant when it should have been a funny, energetic adventure. Not without its moments, admittedly.
46) Oliver &amp; Company The film is entertaining enough, and the animated animals are fun to watch, but the only thing Oliver &amp; Company really has going for it is the score. And by score, we really mean "Why Should I Worry?"
45) The Hunchback of Notre DameIt gains a few points if only for the charms (both personally and thematically) of the gargoyle trio, but Hunchback is a nasty, nihilistic story that undercuts its own point (why the hell does Esmeralda end up with Kevin Kline?) and has some godawful songs to boot.
44) Winnie the Pooh (2011) It skews a little younger than most Disney movies, but it's narrated by John Cleese, so that counts for something. Mostly just forgettable.
43) Saludos Amigos It's got laughs, sure, but your mind will stray as soon as the credits roll... if not sooner.
42) Fun and Fancy Free Remember "Mickey and the Beanstalk?" This is the movie it comes from. That's all that's worth knowing about it.
41) Chicken LittleTremendously fragile, but funny throughout (not so much in terms of the forced pop culture gags, but there's other good material).
Buena Vista Pictures via Everett Collection
40) TarzanThis movie is boring.
39) Brother BearDid you like Brave? No? Not a big fan of Brave? Yeah, this is kind of like Brave. The second half of Brave, anyway.
38) BoltJohn Travolta. John Trabolta.
37) The Rescuers Down Under It gets bonus points for being the only film ever made that features a scene in which an albratross named Wilbur fixes his broken back by flying out the window of a mouse hospital. That kind of insanity should be rewarded.
36) Make Mine Music Our biggest problem with this movie is the grammatically atrocious title. Otherwise it's a good bit of fun.
35) HerculesDecent music, lame characters, and a story that balances out to abject neutrality.
34) The Three Caballeros Watching Donald Duck learn to samba is more entertaining that you'd expect.
33) Melody Time At a certain point, all of the early Disney anthology movies blend together; this is just the one we remember the best.
32) Atlantis: The Lost Empire An underrated adventure that takes itself a little too seriously. The best part of Atlantis is Kida, who has been overlooked for years, and deserves a place in Disney's princess lineup.
31) Bambi It might leave us wanting in all the functional elements of story and character, but with soft simplicity that translates to poetry, Bambi rings powerful right at the visceral level.

30) The Great Mouse Detective Why would you ordain the rhyme scheme of a song about a guy who hates being called a rat to conclude on the -at sound? You all knew the risks, you drunken rodents! But yeah, this movie is okay.
29) The Black Cauldron Not dark or weird enough for people who read the books, but a little too dark and weird for those who didn't; it's a solidly enjoyable film, but ultimately not all that special.
28) The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad Do The Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow have anything in common? Not really. Are they still entertaining anyway? Sure. Is Mr. Toad still a little disconcerting all these years later? Definitely.
27) The Rescuers Remember the albatross from The Rescuers Down Under? He has a brother named Orville, who is the best part of this first one.
26) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs The principle draw to Snow White is its historical significance, but it's a pretty neat cartoon when you cut to it.
25) Pocahontas Once, in a bar, I watched a half dozen 'roided up Long Island boys sing "Colors of the Wind," complete with wolf howls. That's all I have to say about Pocahontas.
24) Lady and the Tramp Depending on your perspective, this movie ruined/improved spaghetti forever.
23) TangledCharming, but surprisingly neutered for a post-aughts hit. "I've Got a Dream" could well be Disney's best song in 15 years.
22) The Sword in the Stone A magical spin on the classic Arthurian legends with plenty of wit and charm (courtesy of Merlin and Arthur), as well as some dry sarcasm courtesy of Archimedes, the greatest wisecracking avian sidekick this side of the Nile.
21) Sleeping Beauty Sure, it's got a lovely heroine, a charming prince, and three comedically bumbling fairies, but the real appeal of Sleeping Beauty is how visually stunning it is. Well, that and Maleficent, of course.

20) Pinocchio If you look at the plot on paper, this movie is really goddamn weird. Power to you, Disney, for making a classic out of a story about a puppet-turned-boy-turned-donkey who gets swallowed by a whale after a fox and a cat (not his cat — he has a cat too, but that's just a regular cat) trick him into playing pool at some weird Italian fellow's ad hoc summer camp, but is led to righteousness thanks to a North Atlantic cricket.
19) The Emperor's New GrooveThe fact that Eartha Kitt plays the villain is reason enough for The Emperor's New Groove to be this high on the list, but it also happens to be one of the funniest films Disney has ever made. But it's got plenty of heart as well, and John Goodman plays the down-on-his-luck good guy so well that it's hard not to be moved by Pancha and Kuzco's eventual friendship.
18) DumboIf nothing else, Dumbo is owed the superlative of Saddest Scene in a Disney Movie. Maybe any movie.
17) The AristocatsDisney's celebration of hipster culture: a tribute to the joys, plights, lingo, and, most of all, music of a certain class of people who know that they're better precisely because they're worse.
16) MulanIn contrast to the footloose and fun The Aritocats, Mulan is actually hyper-serious, shouldering the weight of Disney's first real stab at a progressive heroine and the backdrop of a real world war. But its appeal is not expensed, with Mulan playing as a compelling enough character to cart us through a journey of rigid self-discovery.
15/14) Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 Fantasia is the Disney movie that teachers would put on during indoor recess because it was sophisticated enough to almost count as something educational. It's as visually enchanting as it is inspiring and dense, inviting any and all viewers to appreciate the powers of the big screen on a pure, base level.
13) The Little Mermaid If you're a kid, it's a story about finding your place in the world. If you're a parent, it's about learning to let go and letting kids take risks. If you're anywhere in between, it's about watching an exasperated lobster learning to unwind through catchy musical numbers.
12) FrozenCase in point: someone within earshot of you is singing "Let It Go" right now. Structurally, the film has its flaws. But in spirit, and in its unprecedented underlying messages about feminism and homosexuality, it's remarkably important.
11) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)If you're reading this list, you're probably as in love with the very phenomenon of storytelling as we are. And few pieces of cinema exhibit that love to the degree of the first Winnie the Pooh feature, channeling literary passions through the most affable band of heroes in Disney history.
Buena Vista Pictures via Everett Collection
10) Beauty and the BeastPure spectacle, starting with Belle's wide-eyed ode to the French suburbs and lasting straight through gallant numbers about masculinity, dinner parties, and love. Beauty and the Beast might not have the best story or characters on the list, but it masters theatrics better than just about any other picture.
9) Cinderella Snow White might have come first, but Cinderella is really the inceptive example of "Disney magic." From the fairy godmother and fancy balls to the talking mice and terrifying stepmother, it's the kind of pure, sparkling fun that has come to define all of the studio's best films. "A Dream IAs a Wish Your Heart Makes" is practically Disney's thesis statement.
8) Alice in WonderlandIt was no mean feat to adapt one of the most imaginative novels Western fiction; Disney enveloped not only the visual ambition of Lewis Carroll's book, but also the palpable love for ideas, no matter how absurd. Alice in Wonderland knows when to stay grounded (rare, but it happens) and knows when and how high to soar. It's goofy, haunting, affectionate, and cruel. More than anything else, it's always interesting.
7) The Princess and the Frog An underappreciated triumph of the post-2000 era, Princess and the Frog combines the traditional tropes of classic Disney with the post-modernity of its latter day wonders. The songs and characters won't win individual recognition, but the story on the whole is a meticulously manufactured treat.
6) Robin HoodAnother overlooked gem, the zoological cornucopia that is Robin Hood gets by on a soft, slow, Mark Twainian flavor that is as inviting as it is relaxing. We're never coursing through the corridors of this pseudo-adventure as much as sprawling out on the fresh-cut grass of its sweet, aromatic, immersive world. It's a joy to live in from beginning to end.
Buena Vista Pictures via Everett Collection
5) AladdinProbably the most successfully cool of the Disney animated movies, Aladdin captures the essence of teen independence in a way no other film had before: hating your parents, your society, your lot in life... just wanting to be yourself (Jasmine) or be someone else entirely (Aladdin). And as far as voice acting goes, Aladdin's cast is unparalleled.
Walt Disney Pictures via Everett Collection
4) The Jungle Book Disney disguises a collection of philosophers as woodland critters bouncing about in this wondrous, if not wholly reverent, adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's novel. Some of the merriest tunes any picture on the list has to offer.
Walt Disney Pictures via Everett Collection
3) Peter PanPure adventure. Gumption, spirit, and the unfettered belief in the possible. That's what Peter Pan achieves with its delightful imagery and unbelievably fun and funny characters.
Buena Vista Pictures via Everett Collection
2) The Lion King The vastness of the '94 classic is something to behold; there's no wonder it made such a successful Broadway production. Disney's original masterpiece hits the mark in every department. Its animation is gorgeous, and its music is high art, and its characters make up perhaps the best ensemble on the list (great hero, fantastic villain, and riotous sidekicks on both sides of the fence). The Lion King is just about flawless and could easily take No. 1, if it weren't for that all imporant factor in the judgment of animated movies: sentiment. Lo and behold, our favorite Walt Disney Animated movie...
Walt Disney Pictures via Everett Collection
1) One Hundred and One DalmatiansThe inimitable beauty of One Hundred One Dalmatians, especially when considering it in the company of some of the other great pieces of animation set forth by Walt Disney Studios, is the miracle of its scale. In a tiny, almost microscopic setting (as compared to films about mystical worlds, jungle kingdoms, and such forth), we find such a tremendous story. Funny, exciting, and filled to the brim with the purest case of Disney magic.

Proving that there’s nothing Hollywood won’t reboot if given then chance, a new Scooby Doo movie is reportedly in the works at Warner Bros. According to Variety, the studio is looking to send Scooby, Shaggy, and the gang on another spooky adventure, which will be written by Randall Green. The news comes just a year after Warner Bros. also announced plans for an animated Scooby Doo movie, which is reportedly still on track. Though the last live-action Mystery Gang outings, 2002’s Scooby Doo and its sequel Monsters Unleashed, did well commercially, they weren’t received well by critics and fans of the series, which is why it’s surprising that Warner Bros. would be so intent at taking a third shot at big-screen adventure. After all, the live-action Scooby Doo’s were only slightly better than Yogi Bear. There are plenty of other great classic Hanna-Barbera properties that would make for great films, so why does Scooby get a third shot at big screen success?
